The Secret Ingredient on Hallmark

Have you read the novel THE SECRET INGREDIENT?

You'll want to read it either before or after you catch the movie on Hallmark Channel.

The movie airs again on 4/30 at 8pm eastern. *Check your local listings for other dates and your local viewing times.

If you don't get the Hallmark Channel, let me share my little secret. I use https://www.frndlytv.com/ and it's only $5.99 a month to get ALL three Hallmark Channels and other family-friendly stations--15 in all. You can get a free 7-day trial too.

Anyway, the movie is WONDERFUL!

It was perfectly casted. Brendan Penny plays Andrew, and Erin Cahill (a Virginia gal like me) plays Kelly in this super sweet (pardon the baking pun) reunion romance. In sort of a Food Network Chopped type of baking competition, Hallmark made it so realistic, even bringing in a real Chopped judge. Seriously, you don't want to miss this movie...or the book.

You're going to love all the extra little details and a couple of character arcs that aren't in the movie. Grab your copy and enjoy a wonderful little side-trip to Bailey's Fork, NC and NYC for a baking competition that'll make you hungry. You might even be motivated to bake that gorgeous cake on the cover. No problem. The recipe is right in the book!
